I was moving around some items around my desk and stumbled upon a padded envelope with some Mint Set coins that were cut apart, but still sealed in mint cello. Contest time

Post the "face value" of the loose mint set coinage that I found in the padded envelope and WIN IT! Cents through Half Dollars are represented. No silver , although there is copper! No zinc.

There will be no images posted since some of you guys/gals are really good at counting coins from images.

Only one guess per member, per calendar day. I don't get around to checking in as often as I would like to, so keep the guesses coming until I say "whoa!"

$4.27

EDIT I have retracted my guess, I appreciate the contest and I am eligable for it by your YN rule but id rather a US collector win. they will appreciate the coins more and it will be less postage.
Feel free to call me Will.

I am as old as dirt, or at least I feel like it, so I am out. Nice of you to help a young person advance their collection

I will certainly not disqualify anyone because of the age...stay young at heart...everyone!

These uncirculated coins would probably be more fitting for a beginners collection versus an advanced one.

Some good guesses so far...one in particular is ooooh soooo close!

I will give a hint around 5:00 PM CST tomorrow, so that those who have already guessed for today will have a fair chance.
